This lab explores core Azure Blob Storage features by creating a container, uploading HTML content, validating blob visibility in a browser, and refining container-level access permissions. A hands-on way to understand access tiers, public access policies, and static file delivery in cloud environments.
- Create a Blob Storage container with private access
- Upload and edit a sample static HTML file
- Test blob visibility with anonymous access toggles
- Validate Azure Storage behavior from browser endpoints

- Create storage account:
Standardperformance +LRSredundancy - Enable anonymous access at the container level
- Upload
sample.htmlcontaining test markup - Modify
sample.htmlin Azure portal (add<h2>I am XYZ</h2>) - Attempt direct blob access via browser
- Adjust access policy to Blob (read-only)
- Refresh browser → HTML updates now visible
- Resource group deleted for cleanup
<h1>This is a sample document!</h1>
<h2>I am XYZ</h2>- Blob container set up with restricted access initially
- Access level adjusted to support anonymous blob reads
- HTML content successfully uploaded, edited, and viewed via browser
- Lab status: Passed
- Azure Blob Storage container creation
- File upload via portal drag-and-drop
- Blob-level access configuration
- HTML file testing in browser context
- Lifecycle management and resource cleanup
